As poor a condition as the pitch is, that shouldn't deflect from the poor team selection,individual poor performances and a collective inability to create anything. For the whole of the game we were treated to aimless punts upfield from Clarke and Edmundson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He watched the team many times this season so how did he come to the conclusion in picking that team and formation? Admit it yourself, you wouldn't have done.

If they hadn't just played three games in a row on it, I'd be in full agreement, I'll be more concerned if the players serve up the same when they're back on a decent surface.

Paul Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) 38 minutes ago, JoeP said: Agreed on all fronts. People are confusing criticism with wanting him sacked. I know we don't have the right to beat anyone anymore (an attitude which seems to mean it's OK to lose every game..), but we've just been well beaten at home to Morecambe. Fecking Morecambe!!! Whichever way you want to dress it - that's bad. We were beaten but I’m not sure “well beaten” We had 12 shots they had 13 but both teams had 6 shots on target. We had 57% possession to their 43% and we had 9 corners to their 2 and their winner came in injury time so I accept we were beaten but not well beaten Edited February 20, 2019 by Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsy Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Agree re Edmundson and Clarke. Just punting diagonal balls all game which were easy pickings for the morecombe fullbacks it would be just typical Oldham to go and get a result at Bury then all the talk of the playoffs can return for me p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence him being given Man of the Match! I don't know who does the stats, but other than the goal, Vera's miss and (if it was a shot) Hunt's effort near the end I can't think of any other shots we had on target.

Iverson at home to Morecambe was named man of the match which tells you all you need to know. They wanted it more it's as simple as that, having ability means diddly squat if you can't apply yourself. Effort, pride and attitude should be a given for a professional footballer and too many fell short last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter forced keeper into close range save, just got something on it from Cogs knockdown, Cogs free header, Vera should definitely have scored plus we could have had at least one penalty when Clarke got dragged down from two corners im not saving we deserved to win but at the same time I think “well beaten” is stretching it as well As for MOM awards, they are given by sponsors who have had a few to drink more often than not and not really to be taken too seriously, often a player can do nothing all game, score a goal and then gets MOM!

True. Twitter is a pi** boil 99% of the time and is best avoided. Whoever it was must have conveniently forgot that Shez also managed to achieve relegation form on an early season, pristine pitch.

Stott is painfully slow particularly on the turn and positionally unaware of where he is on the pitch, drifting inside at every opportunity Morecambe had pretty much the run of the park down that flank in the first half, his distribution was shocking to go with it so although it wouldn't be fair to write him off he was piss poor last night and he wouldn't be starting again any time soon in my opinion.
